Kotwica, keen to impress against his old club, forced Wolves loan goalkeeper Jon Flatt into a low save in the fourth minute after skipping past left-back Daniel O'Shaughnessy.

George Lloyd shot just wide for Cheltenham and Josh Thomas saw an effort kept out by Alex Harris in the Tigers goal.

Will Dawes' fine cross was met by Danny Wright, but Harris parried well in the 17th minute and Kieran Parselle charged down Wright's attempt after O'Shaughnessy's ball had been well controlled by the front man.
